Wife is all upset again...

[Midwesthonky]

Geez, go pee outside in the dark and the wife gets all bent out of shape. I went out back in the dark. It's not like I went off the front porch in view of the road and full light.

She asked me why I do that?!? I could go all esoteric and talk about how it saves the environment by eliminating the need to flush the toilet, or communing with nature to contemplate man's role in the environment, or even claim I was looking at the stars on a very nice night. But in reality...I did because I could.

She has the wrong plumbing...She'll never understand.

Sometimes guys just need to mark their territory...

That's half the reason I like camping.. No questions asked when I step away from the fire into the darkness

One of my favorite things about living in the woods is that there's acres and acres of bathroom as far as the eye can see

My wife would prefer me to poop outside too. Matter of fact, she would be happy if I never even went in the house.

Maybe if you didn't do it in the pool she might feel differently.

It was that unfortunate episode when she thought it was a candy bar.

My ex used to berate me about it too. She said I was uncouth to pee outside. I said, hey we live in the midst or 40 acres with no neighbors what the hell is the difference?

My father-in-law has one Hosta plant that is roughly 4-5 times larger than all the others. It is where we all commonly "leak" when drinking on the patio and in that Hosta. This can only be explained by the super plant food it receives. Maybe if her landscaping suddenly shoots up she will be more accepting of your "practice".

That was my thought. I went and watered the kid's pumpkins. Heck, they are proud of those pumpkins and if I can help them grown big and healthy, then I'm doing my job as parent.

You'd think she would be more accepting considering the drought we have had this year and the toll it has taken on the plants. Oh well...

Tell her you are keeping the bears away.

 

[its phillip]

I don't pee outside very often, but I've done it several dozen times throughout the years. No big deal

 

[gmichael]

I don't always pee outside, but when I do, I sell it to Dos Equis.

Maybe if you explain how you can help prevent toe nail fungus by peeing on your toes, she will come to the conclusion that a leak in the dark isn't so bad after all. One of my liberating moments as a city guy is when I visit my rural relatives who live with well water and a septic tank. When the weather's been dry, it's SOP for the guys to go out in the pasture, but that has extended to going out in the pasture anytime the weather isn't awful. After a while, the ladies got used to it.

Do you know the difference between roast beef and pea soup?

Anybody can roast beef...

As a Canuck, I'm always partial to writing my name in the snow although on those really cold nights, the writing tends to be a little "rushed" looking.

That's another talent...I think our 2nd winter after our wedding, I was working out in the shop when my wife came out to check on me. She though it was the dog that whizzed on the the snowbank...then she realized she could read it.

 

[Dan]

I think that's why wives get pissed when we leave the seat up. Unless they are extraordinarily nimble, they will never be able to write their name in the snow.
